With a Fetch Mail Gateway, incoming messages are attached to email messages and sent to an external email address. Babelway platform polls this address at regular intervals and retrieves incoming mails to process them.

To create a fetch email gateway, select an existing template or make a copy of the generic Fetch Mail template in the catalogue and following screen will be displayed.

Fetch Mail Gateway configuration

Figure 1.12. Fetch Mail Gateway configuration


The following fields should be defined in order to configure your incoming gateway:

Mail Server

Pop3 mail server address of email to which incoming messages will be sent as email attachment.

Username

Login or username to access email account.

Password

Password associated to previous username to access email account.

Title Pattern

Pattern the title of the email must comply with to be pick-up by the message.

Attachment

The message is in the attachment of the email, if false the body of the email is used as the message.

Attachment Pattern

Pattern for the attachment. If not complying the message is discarded.

  • À quoi servent les patterns ?

  • Le message est-il dans le corps du texte et/ou en attachment (idem pour Email Gateway) ?

  • Qu'advient-il du message une fois qu'il a été lu ? Est-il automatiquement effacé du serveur ? Si non, comment fait-on pour qu'il ne soit pas pas processé plusieurs fois ?

  • Quel est la fréquence de polling - pourquoi n'est-elle pas configurable comme pour un FTP client ?
